Women superior to men, says Anupam Kher

Actor Anupam Kher, whose latest Bollywood release "Naam
Shabana" features a woman as the protagonist, says he has always considered
women superior to men.

"I always feel that women are superior to men. Anybody
who can give birth to life has to be superior," Anupam said here on Thursday.

"My mother is a great lady and there are strong women
in the society. It is important in each country, including India, to give equal
opportunities to women. It should be a very natural process and we should not
work hard, very hard for it. Being a known face, it is very important for me
to talk about such issues," he said.

Anupam spoke on the sidelines of a special screening of "Poorna"
-- another movie highlighting the grit and determination of a girl.

Rahul Bose directed "Poorna" is a biopic on the life
of Poorna Malavath, a young tribal girl from Telangana who became the youngest
girl in history to climb the Mount Everest.

Praising Rahul for making such a film, Anupam said: ""ahul
is a socially aware person. He is always associated with a film which presents
some important causes and issues. He is also associated with numerous causes.
Every film is about storytelling and how engaging you could make it.

"I am happy for him that his film is creating buzz among
the people."
